I know a long title, but I wanted you to pause on passing on this amazing recipe because it is both gluten free and vegan. I'm neither and this is one of the few pastries I eat on a regular basis due to the flavor, texture and how it makes me feel afterwards.

If you are willing to try making this and you don't love it, then email me sheila@houseofbread.com and I'll send you an online baking class of choice or a download pdf version of my recipe book.
